I had a teacher in high school that would fit "teachers that were arrogant in their authority" perfectly.
She. is. ridiculous.
I can't even begin to write out every little issue that I witnessed, because I would write a novel.
You couldn't use pen for anything. You couldn't even write your name in pen.
You couldn't ask for help. Everything you needed was in the book. I'm a visual learner, as were most of the people in my accounting class. I can't learn accounting from a book.
She would send people out to the hallway if their assignments weren't done, which was understandable. One day I did have my homework done, but I realized that I made a mistake on the last page. I was fixing the error and she sent me out into the hallway, because since I was wrong, I wasn't done.
That woman... yeesh, she was the main reason that I couldn't wait to graduate.

I'm beginning to think that Ruth is trying to find an article about an idiotic school policy so outrageous that it will make both Gem's and my heads to explode loudly enough that Mollielover will hear it happen.

Now I'm not a dumb guy exactly. I did well in school, but some of the questions on the tests given to students were really unclear. I'm talking about the standardized tests given by the state to public school students. Now I'm older, I had the chance to actually edit these same tests, for other states. Many of the questions were still very unclear or could have multiple answers! The people that make these questions are just plain dumb, it seems.

I think they do that to prevent students from deducing the answer from the question and eliminating answers. I think that knowing the subject better themselves would eliminate this type of question, but what do I know.
